Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The educational research is recognized today as a key tool in understanding educational phenomena, but is also seen as a process of constructing knowledge at various levels that can support and encourage educational innovation as well as their own professional development. However, the complexity of the acts educational processes requires comprehensive investigation of this same reality.
Thus, this program aims to be an important contribution to this urgent task of accessing and
understanding the complexity of educational acts, both in terms of their practices in context, but also their symbolic meanings. This approach requires a rigorous but open educational research

Teaching methodologies

Presence sessions for work in diverse theoretical framework.
Seminars for methodological framework to the construction of the Project,
Collaborative work on the issue of construction project
Communication with the teacher and classmates via e-mail.
Use of the Internet pages of UC or its interactive platform (Moodle).

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The methodologies used in this work UC aim to facilitate the construction of a meaningful learning for the
student. Thus the activities to achieve the objectives seek to develop the discipline through the articulation
of the content defined in this program with the needs and experiences of students in investigative
practices already developed (or developing) in his academic and professional. We are trying to evidence
the process of "learning by doing" as they seem to be the most appropriate for the UC.
Just as students have to develop a research project on the practice in curriculum terms for this discipline
UC Stage IV also supports the design and development of this project
For this reason there are different ways of working depending on the rationality of this uc but also the needs of students. It should be noted here the crucial importance of long-distance support via both Moodleand e-mail.
Also in terms of assessment there is a consistency between the goals and needs of UC students to work at UC to develop Stage IV including in particular the construction of the problem in defining the study design and rationale of the method used in their project work

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Assessment comprises:

- Presentation of the data collection and analysis model (20%)
- Methodological project (80%)
which consists of:
• Identification of research problem (emerging Pedagogical Practice) and reasons (introduction)
• Study design and methodological approach (methodology)

The construction of the methodological project is compulsory to the classification.
